With both Idaho and North Dakota vying for a first round bye in the Big Sky postseason tournament next month, the Vandal men’s basketball team entered Saturday’s game seeking a pivotal conference victory.
Idaho rallied behind the surprise return of junior guard Perrion Callandret to earn a thrilling 65-64 win in front of a home crowd of 1,500 at the Cowan Spectrum.
“It was a game-time decision on Callandret,” said Idaho head coach Don Verlin. “It was great to have him back in the lineup. We were very fortunate to win that basketball game with the way we turned it over.
